FRANCE 24 journalist Sonia Dridi filed a police complaint with Egyptian police on Saturday, a day after she was assaulted while reporting on a protest in the capital Cairo's Tahrir Square.

Dridi had just finished giving a live news report at around 10:30pm on Friday for FRANCE 24's French language television when a crowd of men teemed around her, shoving and grabbing at her body.
